I've always been impressed with how in some ways Disney is so prepared yet in other they are completely unprepared.Wrapping trash cans like that was incredibly stupid. You'd think they'd have a better plan.

Is that a monorail and tractor parked up inside? Do / can they close the doors on the beam?
They have 3 work tractors and I think a couple of trailers that can be pulled by them. I would guess they parked as much in there as they could.No idea. It was two big mechanical things on the monorail. I'm guessing one repaired and one towed/pushed but I don't know for sure.
I believe there's also a curfew in place in Orange County. I lived in the apartments across from Chatham in 2004, lost power for a couple days. Good to hear they have power. It's pretty miserable when the sun comes back out and there's no AC.Just heard from my son, a DCP staying in Chatham Square. He said as of this morning they are still being told to stay in their compounds. I expect they want to do a damage assessment and make sure there are no trees or power lines down that would impact them.
Fortunately, he said they never lost power there.
Curfew is until 6PM in Orange and Osceola.I believe there's also a curfew in place in Orange County. I lived in the apartments across from Chatham in 2004, lost power for a couple days. Good to hear they have power. It's pretty miserable when the sun comes back out and there's no AC.
I have an interesting story about those globes. In 2004 engineering kind of dropped the ball with taking care of those. They were supposed to wrap them like shown there, but never did anything. The monorail intern manager who was overseeing the MK station prior to the storms arrival removed them all so that they wouldn't break loose during the storm. As it turns out this was what the operating guidelines actually said to do in the event engineering didn't take care of them. After the storm the engineering manager was furious because they had to go get the globes and put them all back on. In the end even though the monorail manager did the right thing his career was pretty much over. They took away all his responsibilities until his internship ran out and had no further positions for him. It was sad because he was actually really good. Anyway, long story but this reminded me of that.These are the lights that were wrapped (fans are too). Only 1/5 or so of the bulbs had this on them. Guessing they ran out?
So, I think everyone is accounted for except joecamel...
Hey guys, I follow Joe on Twitter and I can confirm he's safe and sound
